Queer Thinking curator Dino Dimitriadis said the series wasn't afraid to delve into confronting or controversial topics.

“The Queer Thinking series is a keystone Mardi Gras event in provoking discussion about issues important to LGBTQI people and communities, both at home in Australia and abroad,” Dimitriadis said in a statement.
